HTML Drawing Control

Overview of HTML drawing control

HTML drawing control works with HMTL5-compliant desktop browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. For more information, see Add HTML drawing control for desktop web browsers.

Note: With the release of ARCHIBUS V.23.2, all Web Central views were converted to use the HTML drawing control instead of the Flash drawing control. If you have previously created views that use the Flash drawing control, the view's drawings will still work.

For new views that you create, ARCHIBUS, Inc. recommends using the HTML control, as the Flash control is slated for desupport in future versions of ARCHIBUS. For information on converting existing views with Flash drawings to HTML format, see Convert views with the Flash drawing control to the HTML drawing control.

Note: Web Central V.23.2 supports all of ARCHIBUS's HTML5 drawing tools for desktop browsers. The Mobile application supports a more restricted set of HTML5 drawing tools, available in V.22.1. To use these tools in the Mobile application, see HTML5 Drawing Control: Overview and The HTML5 Drawing Control for mobile Web browsers, which contain information about V.22.1 Mobile drawing tools.
